    NSA leaker’s girlfriend blogged about “feeling alone” when he left

    You'd still have the issue of attacking the messenger instead of dealing with the message. The article is the embodiment of a logical fallacy, and would be more appropriate on a partisan website that does care more about the messenger than the message. Sorry, the 'context'.

    Take Down Joe Mullin's New Snowden Article

    Yes, the people on the Hill. "I am shocked. Shocked! Shocked and appalled!" Indeed.

    Take Down Joe Mullin's New Snowden Article

    It is not contextual, it is irrelevant. And correlating the actions of a whistleblower to a mass-murderer as 'shocking'? What was shocking was not his action; what was shocking was what he told us about what our government is doing. THAT IS THE FOCUS, THE CONTEXT. You are simply wrong, Mr. Fisher.

    Government Surveillance in Post-9/11 America

    Ars joins the hit squad by posting this scum-soaked article: http://meincmagazine.com/tech-policy/2013 ... n-he-left/ I am disgusted. Irrelevant and non-technical.

    http://meincmagazine.com/contact-us/ Contact the editors and ask the story to be retracted like I did. I don't need to pay for this site if they're going this route.

    STAR TREK: The Perpetual Thread

    Just saw it Saturday. Liked it. Don't know if it will fail to hold up for me like the first one did on repeated viewings, but really enjoyed the little character interactions throughout. "Oh my God, what is that even like?!" was a favorite line. And the in-preview scream that seemed over the...

    Kerbal Space Program

    It's definitely possible, I've done it before. When oriented towards prograde, H for acceleration, N for deceleration -- super good at fine-tuning distant orbital insertions. Unfortunately you can't toggle it on and off (the ship reserves the right to do something like that on its own). Here's...

    Kerbal Space Program

    Think Voyager would be more RCS than Ion. Deep Space 1 would be your prototypical ion drive satellite.

    Train derail and explosions in Baltimore suburb

    Or, every 3rd rush hour in Baltimore.

    Kerbal Space Program

    Is it too big to move around a bit? You can fling it around Ike (which has a huge SoI relative to Duna's) to reverse direction.

    Kerbal Space Program

    Just going with a vanilla sandbox for now. Mun Mission 1: Skyfucker 1 (launch failure, Jeb survives in the new 1-man lander pod) Mun Mission 2: Skyfucker 2 (partial success; fully fueled nuclear engine probe stage still attached to the central mainsail ascent stage which has ~700 fuel left in...

    Kerbal Space Program

    Make your ideal system cruiser and refuel it in orbit of Minmus? You'll want nuclear engines on anything you're going long distance cruises with, so build a landing craft docked to your transit vehicle, make sure free docking port is on the main ship, and get that into orbit with a simpler...

    Kerbal Space Program

    I've had upper stages for moon missions eventually get ejected into Kerbol orbit. My spacejunk problem was becoming a system-wide issue. But I screwed something up moving saves over for the Steam install directory and lost my 3-year (ingame time) game. Several operating Kethane refineries, the...

    My own daily WTF?

    A self-inflicted one that I spent 4 hours trying to track down the cause of yesterday afternoon and this morning: var parID = false; if (current.u_parent) parID = current.u_parent.sys_id; while ("parID") { ... etc }

    World of Warcraft - Midnight

    I didn't, I missed ... sound.mpq, which has by far many more sound files than the rest. There's a lot of amazing music in there, which I've only heard once or twice in game. This time I extracted each mpq to a distinct directory instead of all to a single /sound/ folder, interested in the...

    World of Warcraft - Midnight

    I had a lot of time to listen to the background music while waiting for the raid to finally wipe on some attempts. I'm liking it so much I unpacked the mpq file and put one of the themes into my playlist (MUS_52_AncientMogu_B_Hero_01, "Mogu March H"). I just can't find where they're hiding the...
